Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II
A Pulitzer Prize-winning account of the 'Age of Neoslavery,' the American period following the Emancipation Proclamation in which convicts, mostly black men, were 'leased' through forced labor camps operated by state and federal governments.
